Wild Pigs Invade Strathbogie Ranges

Wild pigs are invading the bush and pine plantations between Boho South and Warrenbayne .

This pregnant sow was shoot in the area last month. The interesting feature of this pig was that her ears were missing. This points to the fact that she has been caught by hunting dogs in the past. Feral pigs can cause immense damage to the natural environment , especially in our delicate wetlands where they wallow and root around in the soil. It would be horrifying if some brainless pig hunters were catching pigs elsewhere and releasing them into the Strathbogie Ranges for easy sport hunting.
